“It is the habit of this government to get a decision cleared by the Cabinet and then publicise it. These decisions hardly help anyone on the ground,” she said while talking about the state government’s decision to set up fast-track courts for crimes against women.

Mayawati alleged cane farmers were suffering in the state as the SP government is hand-in-glove with the sugar mill owners.

She said Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav’s visit to the Netherlands to attract investment will not bring any change as there are many small and middle industries in UP that need to be promoted.

Mayawati also attacked the NDA government and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

She claimed the Centre’s new Pradhanmantri Jan Dhan Yojana, which provides for a free zero balance bank account with a debit card, Rs 1 lakh accidental insurance and Rs 30,000 medical insurance, will not help the poor because it is very difficult to get the insurance claims processed, and alleged that the NDA government has continued schemes started by previous governments for financial assistance of poor.
Responding to the allegations against Home Minister Rajnath Singh’s son, Mayawati said: “With this type of incident you can yourself predict what is going to happen to the BJP.”

She said she will hold a meeting of party’s office-bearers and workers Sunday where the rise in incidents of communal violence ever since BJP came to power and the law and order situation in UP will be discussed.
